And, whoever is elected, hold their feet to the fire throughout their term.
Otherwise, they will try to slip in a Dubai ports sell-out, or a Miers Supreme Court nominee, or amnesty for illegals, or amnesty for illegals - round 2, or amnesty for illegals - round 3, or international law keep foreign illegal death-row murderers from being executed in Texas, or give the UN authority over US shipping with the LOST treaty, etc.
For all of the wannabes running for 2008, scrutinize them, their past political records and their current pandering. If they were ‘for’ something a decade previous, are they really ‘against’ it now, or are they just pandering and placating? [GW fooled many people -— but he waited until his reelection in 2004 before he really stated pushing some of his agenda.]
A definition of insanity has been stated as: Voting for the same people and expecting a different result from them.
- If they have assaulted the First and/or the Second Amendment in the past,
- if they have advocated open borders and amnesty for illegals in the past,
- if they have supported and pushed the globalist open trade agenda in the past,
- if they have supported and advocated international law over US law,
- if they have supported UN superiority over US sovereign interests,
they will, in all probability, continue to support, advocate, and push for these in the future.
Whoever gets elected to the White House and to Congress, we have to be relentless in scrutinizing them and their positions on major issues.

"Republicans" who try to convince you to overlook a candidate's liberal positions on abortion, gay rights, free speech, free religion, gun control, property rights, federalism, judicial activism, illegal aliens, socialized healthcare, taxes, spending, national security, sovereignty etc, are doing you no favors. Never compromise on the principles and values you hold dear."
Thank you Jim. National Security and the Sovereignty of our Country ARE values I hold dear and in any, especially this critical election, I won't compromise. Part of my not being willing to compromise has been working to defeat (Comprehensive Immigration Reform's) amnesty, to see our border's effectively secured, to end birthright citizenship, and to do what I can to inform the uninformed of the CFR's North American Union agenda. Therefore, my support in the primary goes to the only candidate who has, for years, consistently walked the talk and refuses to 'deal' on these issues....Duncan Hunter.
"Any candidate who willingly compromises in any one area will compromise in any other area. Your freedom is at risk. Our Republic is at risk."
I believe that if Duncan Hunter had united support, he would be the only non-liberal/non-moderate conservative in the forefront, holding to the ideals spelled out in your post. I admit that it is disheartening that he is not getting the united support that would surely put him in the top tier. While his unwillingness to compromise, 'deal' away, or moderate his conservatism for the sake of the moderate vote, is seen by some as a negative, I also believe that in his doing so, he would have the better chance of any to defeat both Guiliani and Hillary and as POTUS, would bring to our country a return to true conservative leadership.

One to think about adding: Never support or elect anyone who believes that judges should act as unelected legislators, even if they would impose an agenda you would agree with.

So, support the right candidate in the primaries, but what do you do if the race comes down to Giuliani versus Hillary? Don’t you want to vote for Giuliani because he cares about national security and will pick better justices for the US Supreme Court than Hillary will? Not to decide is to decide, and not to vote for the better candidate is to give a vote to the worse one. As the expression goes, the great is the enemy of the good.

excellent post Commander!
To: Jim Robinson
Jim, you have all my frustration rolled into one conversation.
I cannot vote for anyone who goes against what I believe to be the truth of America.
As you said...
"Republicans" who try to convince you to overlook a candidate's liberal positions on abortion, gay rights, free speech, free religion, gun control, property rights, federalism, judicial activism, illegal aliens, socialized healthcare, taxes, spending, national security, sovereignty etc, are doing you no favors. Never compromise on the principles and values you hold dear.
Couldn't have said it better myself!
Thank you! And...
God Bless America!!!
